TroubleshootingQ. When I run Jigsaw Mania I get an error, it says it can't find ddraw.dll, what does that mean?A. This means that you don't have DirectX installed, a computer game library created by Microsoft. You will need to download it from www.microsoft.com/directx Then try running Jigsaw Mania again. Q. When I run Jigsaw Mania some of the graphics appear to be corrupted or don't display correctly, how can I fix this? A. Firstly, make sure you have the latest version of DirectX and the latest drivers for your video card installed. If the problem persists then try going to "Options->Preferences..." on the menu bar, then check the box labelled "keep all surfaces in system memory". This should fix any graphical problem, however it may also make the program run slower as the images are no longer stored in video RAM. Whether you will need to use this option depends on your video card and how large your Jigsaws are, most users will not need to change it. Experiment and see which suits your system the best. Q. The emailing feature doesn't work for me, what can I do? A. This is probably because you don't have Outlook Express (or another POP mail client) installed and configured on your computer. You can either set up Outlook Express to send mail, or you can send the files manually as an attachment. Ordering Jigsaw ManiaQ. How exactly can I get the full version of Jigsaw Mania?A.
